For my next stop in Bali I turned up the contemporary flair and checked into…

ALILA VILLAS SOORI

Located in the Tabanan Regency, beyond the madness that is Seminyak and Kerobokan – lies this sleek beachfront resort – Alila Vills Soori. Fronted by wild, black volcanic sand and the Indian Ocean on one side and UNESCO world heritage protected rice paddies on the other… this escape will take you into the heart of the real Bali.

SOORI BALI

It’s ultimately a honeymooners paradise – you can lock yourself away for days in their contemporary pool-flanked villas. Choose ocean or mountain view – I prefer the mountain side with views of lush, verdant rice fields stretching towards mystical Mount Batukaru on the distant horizon. This is a place of quiet contemplation in zen like style and it’s the perfect base to explore the “real Bali”. With the help of Soori Bali, you can take your pick of full-day and half-day bespoke experiences which focus on spa and wellness, Balinese culture, arts and crafts as well as environmentally conscious excursions.

DELICIOUS DINING

Decadent dining options abound at open-air Cotta (where you’ll enjoy the “tasting menu” breakfast-style spread daily) to the more intimate and romantic Ombak where you can indulge in the Kosong dinner menu… diners select from pure, fresh ingredients available on the day, and are joined at their table by the chef, who will fine-tune the complete customisation of your meal.
